I had `pip install --user` in mind. Suppose I use pip to install libfoo as part of the sage-8.0 installation. Then I wipe out my sage-8.0 directory and try to install sage-9.0. Wouldn't it find the libfoo that I already installed? Those pip-installed libraries should persist, and that means our "does this library exist?" test should be something like "import foo" and not "is the libfoo directory exactly where I think it should be". The "import foo" test would also pick up libfoo if I've installed it with my system's package manager. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
